Electricity Supply Accountability and Reliability Improvement Project

The objective of the proposed Electricity Supply Accountability and Reliability Improvement project is to improve the reliability of the electricity supply in the capital city Bishkek, as well as the Chui and Talas regions—an area served by the state-owned power distribution company Severelectro JSC—and to strengthen the governance of Severlectro’s operations.

Energy Sector Development Investment Program, Tranche 5

The project will build a 500-kilovolt (kV)/220-kV substation at Dashte Alwan, which will connect to a 500-kV transmission line crossing the Hindukush mountains via the Salang Pass route. This will add 1,000 megawatts to the system and allow power imports from Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan.

Golovnaya 240-Megawatt Hydropower Plant Rehabilitation Project

The project will refurbish electric and mechanical equipment for power generation and transmission at the Golovnaya Hydropower Plant in Tajikistan, which will raise generation capacity to 252 megawatts (MW) from 240 MW.

North–South Power Transmission Enhancement Project (formerly Power Distribution Project)

The project will construct a 500-kilovolt (kV) transmission line about 225 kilometers (km) long across the Hindukush mountain range between the northern town of Dashte Alwan and Kabul, at the southern end. It will include a new 500-kV / 220-kV substation to connect to the grid in Kabul, Afghanistan's capital.

Energy Efficiency Project

The project consists of two components: investment and technical assistance. The first part will finance eligible subprojects to support a reduction in energy use of public buildings such as schools, kindergartens, clinics/hospitals, and street lighting. The second part concerns technical assistance to help ensure effective project implementation.

Energy Sector Development Investment Program, Tranche 4

The project will install transmission lines to expand the network in North–West Afghanistan and to connect to the Turkmenistan system. It will also extend the distribution network southeast of Kabul, the capital.

Power Sector Rehabilitation Project (formerly Power Transmission Rehabilitation)

The project will help rehabilitate the 1,200-megawatt Toktogul hydroelectric power plant, which is critical to national and regional power supply. The project will also establish an electricity transactions settlement center to reduce commercial losses, conduct safety assessment of dams on the Naryn cascade, and launch a public information program on power sector reforms.

Energy Sector Development Investment Program, Tranche 3

The project will increase generation capacity in Gereshk, an economic center in Helmand province, by upgrading a hydropower plant. It will replace 10 kilometers of 3.3 kilovolt (kV) distribution lines with 20 kV lines, and install new end-user meters. The project will also enhance operations of the power utility, Da Afghanistan Breshna Sherkat.

KEGOC Osakarovka Restructuring Loan

The loan will help in the rehabilitation of the Ossakarovka electricity transmission line to contribute to the overall system reliability and support development of the Akmola region, enabling electricity supply from Central Kazakhstan to Astana city and Akmola oblast (region).

Talimarjan Transmission Project

The objective of the Talimarjan Transmission Project for Uzbekistan is to improve the reliability of the electricity supply to residential and business consumers in South–Western Uzbekistan.

Regional Power Transmission Interconnection Project (Afghanistan Component) – Supplementary

The project will enhance transmission interconnectivity in the power sector between Afghanistan and Tajikistan. It will increase power export and income generation capacity of Tajikistan, and restore power supply and reduce costs for consumers in Afghanistan.

Alma Electricity Transmission Project

The project will improve the reliability and quality of electricity supply to consumers in the Almaty region in an environmentally responsible and financially sustainable manner. This will be achieved by expanding the capacity of Almaty's transmission network to provide additional capacity and redundancy in the system for uninterrupted supply of electricity.

Power Sector Improvement Project (formerly Transmission and Distribution Metering Project)

The project will introduce an automated metering and data acquisition system to help cut losses, upgrade substation equipment, and install a supervisory control system. It also includes building the capacity of state-run National Electric Grid of Kyrgyzstan and a study on electricity settlement systems.

Regional Power Transmission Project

The project will include the construction of two new 220-kilovolt transmission lines totaling 140 kilometers, and the rehabilitation of substations. It will support reforms, including restructuring state-owned utility Barki Tojik.

Energy Efficiency Facility for Industrial Enterprises

The objective of the project is to improve energy efficiency in Industrial Enterprises (IEs) by designing and establishing a financing mechanism for energy saving investments.

Energy Emergency Recovery Assistance Project, Additional Financing

The objective of the Additional Financing for the Energy Emergency Recovery Assistance Project for Tajikistan is to urgently increase the volume and reliability of the national energy supply, especially in the winter season, by supporting the implementation of the Energy Emergency Management Action Plan.

Talimarjan Power Project (formerly CASAREM–Talimarjan Energy Development Project)

Located 440 kilometers southwest of Tashkent, the new facility will increase energy efficiency and save energy through clean power generation. The project will also help increase regional connectivity, and improve power sector management and customer service.

Energy Sector Development Investment Program, Tranche 2

The project will expand transmission coverage from Chimtala to South-West Kabul, develop the Kabul Distribution Network in Darchi-e-Bashi, and improve system planning and project management at Da Afghanistan Breshna Sherkat (DABS).

Energy Emergency Assistance Project, Additional Financing

The additional financing will increase the volume and reliability of Kyrgyz Republic's energy supply, especially thermal power in the winter season, thereby supporting implementation of the Energy Emergency Mitigation Action Plan.

Kazakhstan Moinak Electricity Transmission Project

The project will increase and improve the electricity supply to business enterprises and households in southern Kazakhstan in an economically and environmentally sustainable manner.
